Migration assistant - MacBook Pro. If old device is saying “looking for applications and documents to transfer” after 14 hours is something wrong? On new device- it still says “calculating”

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

You can always quit, and try a different backup to use with Migration Assistant and compare your results.

The most trouble free way to move to a new machine, is using the Setup Assistant on the initial boot of a brand new machine— you have one shot here. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205749

The second best way is use the Migration Assistant.
